the Most Malignant Character.

pressed because he is compelled to remain In

lapse"
Other dispatches received from San Reno
say that there has been discharge of green
matter from the Crown Princes throat which
proved to be cancerous. In view of this fact his
case is considered much worse. this kind of
soft cancer is of the most malignant type. and
is regarded as incurable. The German DOCTORS
the reports say, are trying to deny the serious,
almost critical, development of the Crown
Princes ailment which Is now clinicaily and
pathologically clear.
The Imperial Adver tiser says that since the
saddening news of the serious illness of the
Crown Prince was announced. the warmest sym
pathy for the sufferer and the Emperor has been
manifested throughout the German fatherland
heir to the throne and the hard trials of the Em-
peror and the whole royal household have
everywhere produced profound feeling of
sympathy. This has found uueouivocal
expression in the numerous addresses
which have reached the Emperor from Germany
and from foreign countries, particularly
England, Italy and Spain. Many of the letters
received by the Emperor recommend remedies
and methods Of treatment to effect a cure Of the
Crown Princes malady. Some of the writers
say they have been afflicted with similar dis
ease, and narrate their own experiences. The
Emperor is deeply affected by these evidences
of universal sympathy and love for his son,
and has ordered that all the addresses that
have been sent to him be brought to the knowl-
edge OF all concerned
DIR. Mackenzie has sent communication to
the press with reference to Professor Virchow's
statements before the Berlin Medical Society.
DR.. Mackenzie admits that he has not met
Crown Prince, and that he has had commu-
ncation whatever with Professor Virchow. He
thought II better. he says, TO abstain from IN
tercourse with the Professor during the
period or the microscopical examina-
tion. He knew that Professor Vlrchow
would not have been in the least degree in
huenced by the most minute description of the
appearance of the Princes larynx. He had
never endeavored to force any responsibilities
on Virchow. except for his opinions the DOR
tions or growth which had been removed
Professor Virchow could not possibly determine
the condition OF the tissues beneath the growth.

cancerous element, If such existed. The three
portions OF the growth which had been removed
from the Princes throat afforded negative evil
dence, and taere was strong hope at that time
that cancer did not exist.
DR.. Hahn, at meeting OF the Berlin Medical
Society, to-day, said that in cases OF soft,
quickly growing cancer he preferred TO refrain
from operating. because in such cases an oper-
alton was seldom successful He confined him
